DevOps isn’t the name of a team or a job title or a particular technology. Instead, it’s a set of processes, ideas, and techniques that combines people, cultural practices, and technologies. The goal is to make software delivery vastly more efficient. DevOps helps teams ship high-quality products faster by reducing the friction between writing, testing, and deploying code.

What is the structure of a DevOps model? Well, it does not work on a particular model; rather it is an approach to building software to enhance the entire development cycle. DevOps fundamentally seeks to transform organisations by bringing traditionally siloed teams together across every part of the software development life cycle.

Key aspects of DevOps

Collaboration: DevOps needs close cooperation between operations and development for a productive environment.

Version control: Version control is an integral part of DevOps. A version control system is designed to automatically record file changes and preserve records of previous file versions.

Automation: It establishes feedback loops between those in charge of maintaining the underlying infrastructure and those in charge of developing the core software.

Incremental releases: Successful DevOps practices rely on incremental releases, which are characterised by the speedy delivery of feature additions and updates. Incremental releases enable development teams to swiftly respond to business needs.

Orchestration: Orchestration aids in configuring, managing, and coordinating the infrastructure necessary for an application to function properly.

Efficient Prompt Engineering: Getting the Right Answers

OpenAl's GPT-3 and GPT-4 are powerful tools that can generate human-like text, answer questions, and provide insights. However, the quality of these outputs depends heavily on how you frame the input, or prompt. Efficient prompt engineering ensures you get the right answers by designing inputs that guide the AI towards relevant, clear, and useful responses. Let's find out how to craft effective prompts with examples.

Analysing Linus Torvald's Critique of Docker

This article looks at Docker's security flaws, particularly its shared-kernel model, and contrasts it with traditional VMs for better isolation. It discusses Linus Torvalds' concerns, explores mitigation techniques, and proposes a roadmap for building a more secure containerisation platform using hardware-assisted virtualisation, true isolation, and a robust orchestration layer.
